Sepultura The Best Of Sepultura
This collection was released in 2006, the band hasn’t been with Roadrunner Records for a long time, and wasn’t at the time of the release of this collection, it’s a pointless cash in, the record label shamelessly gathered up tracks by Spineshank, Sepultura, Type O Negative, Suffocation and Deicide …

The Cranberries - Everybody Else is Doing it so Why Can’t We? (1993)
This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.

The White Sripes - I’m Lonely (Song)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (CD)
If I thought the Twilight soundtrack was great, the soundtrack for the second installment was ten times greater. This soundtrack had a very indie feel about it. It almost felt as if it belonged in the first movie, to match how that movie felt. Anyway, I digress.
There was …
